Agenda Item Summary: The social-emotional and behavioral component of the Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) is also referred to as Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports (PBIS), a framework that includes consistent school-wide practices and intervention strategies to encourage positive student behavior. PBIS also serves to create and maintain positive learning environments for students and staff. Through social emotional learning and intervention support, students will gain the skills needed to be successful at school and beyond. Restorative Practices and Social Emotional Academic Learning (SEAL) are a part of the MTSS/PBIS framework.
Background: Implementation of SEAL in ACPS began with adult Professional Learning (PL) including but not limited to the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Interface workshop, Trauma Informed SEAL PL, Youth Mental Health First Aid training for all SST staff members, and ongoing training modules in Conscious Discipline for Early Childhood Center staff.
Recommendation: The Superintendent recommends that the School Board review the information provided in this brief as preparation for an upcoming School Board presentation.
